You right. I more so was getting at them penny pinching by not signing him to an extension a few years ago. I know they were be “cautious”. But he been the face of the franchise for a few years now.Na you can't say they were penny pinching when they offered $213.5m over 7 years. That's over $30m per year. He wanted 10/$360. That's ludicrous for a 30 year old. I'd be cool with going to like 7/238. He'll be 38 when it ends. 10/360 and paying him 36m a year when he's 41 is suicide though. It's not fair to compare him to guys like Trout or Tatis that signed long deals at 22-25 years old. Judge already being 30 is a huge factor in this.
